CARE

A dataset containing a subset of children from the CARE trial on early childhood intervention. 
The randomized controlled trial was subsetted to mimic a regression-discontinuity design in which 
treatment was assigned only to mothers whose IQ was smaller than 85.

datasets

Estimation of both single- and multiple-assignment Regression Discontinuity Designs
(RDDs). Provides both parametric (global) and non-parametric (local) estimation choices for
both sharp and fuzzy designs, along with power analysis and assumption checks.
Introductions to the underlying logic and analysis of RDDs are in
Thistlethwaite, D. L., Campbell, D. T. (1960) <doi:10.1037/h0044319> and
Lee, D. S., Lemieux, T. (2010) <doi:10.1257/jel.48.2.281>.
